New Extra Curricular Classes Offered at TotSpot

We are so excited to offer so many classes to enrich our students. Starting today, Wednesday, we have Amazing Athletes from coming from 3:00-3:40. Coach Lee and Coach Diana were in last week to give some of our students quick look at their classes and were amazing. The kids had lots of fun, hopefully they told you all about it. You can visit their website at www.AmazingAthletes.com to find out more about it.

On Thursdays we just started a Spanish class with Miss Claudia and Lango kids. It meets from 11:30-12:00. The younger years are an excellent time to expose your child to a foreign language and you will be amazed at how much they learn. Miss Claudia has such a good program and it is only $60 for an 8 week program. You can go online to www.LangoKidsGilbert.com to find out more about this wonderful class.

On Tuesdays we continue to offer computer classes offered through Imagine Tomorrow with our teacher Mr. Ken. The classes are from 11:30-12:05. The kids all love this class and are becoming very computer savvy. You can visit his website at www.futurekiddie.com to learn more about their program.

Please let us know if you are interested in any of the classes, we will be happy to help you!

Welcome Back

We hope you all had a wonderful spring break. It was a nice break for most of our teachers. Thank you to Ms. Gretchen, Ms.. Nelay, Ms. Joanna, and Ms. Kristen for helping us with our spring break camps. It was fun to see some of our students and their siblings and we had lots of fun.

Ms. Jeanine is back in the office as well as Ms. Shannon. They were missed over the break but now things are getting back to normal, or as normal as things can be at a preschool. Enrollment for next year continures as well as a few new students for this school year as well. It looks as if next year will be an even bigger success than this one. Many of our classes are already full. Thank you to our wonderful parents for helping us to spread the word with your family and friends about our school. It is very much appreciated.

Book orders went home this week. We hope you find some wonderful books to share with you children at home. Reading with you child everyday is so important and fosters a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Are you wondering what your kids are going to do throughout the summer break when it is to hot to go outside? Registration for our summer camps is starting now. We will be offering camps almost everyday through out the summer. Your children aged 2-6 can attend from 9:30-11:30, 9:30-1:30, or from 12:00-2:00 Monday-Friday. The cost is $15/day for a two hour session or $25/day for the four hour session. For every nine days you register for you get a tenth free.

This next week we are starting our Stretch 'n Grow class on Mondays at 11:30. Ms. Nicole came and did a free demonstration this past Monday and the kids had a wonderful time while getting lots of exercies as well. It has been such a hit already that we will be having another demonstration next Thursday. We will be offering a class for our Tuesday/Thursday students as well.

Keep an eye out on our blog as there is so much that will be happening at the end of the school year. We have so many things planned!

It has a been a busy time for us here at TotSpot Preschool. Enrollment for the 2011-2012 school year has been open for a little over a month and we have filled several of our classes already! It is very exciting to see us growing so quickly.

We had our first Scholastic Book Fair last week, thank you so much to everyone who bought books. I wasn't sure if we could meet our goal of selling $300 in books but we more than doubled that in sales. All of your children will be blessed as you read all those books to them.

McGruff the crime dog came for a visit this past week as well. He visited each of the classrooms and most of the kids loved it. A few of our two year olds weren't quite sure what to think of him and some couldn't stop hugging him.

Each of classes has been watching our tadpoles change into frogs. Some have developed more quickly than others but it has been fun to watch. Even the teachers have loved it. We also have caterpillars that are getting fatter by the day. We can't wait to see the beautiful butterflies they will become.

NOW is the time to register your child for the Fall 2011-2012 school year. Registration will open to the community on February 1st and classes are filling up quickly.

Don't forget to refer your friends and family to receive a $25 tuition credit.

Merry Christmas! We hope your child has enjoyed all the many things we have done at preschool these past two and a half months. We had a wonderful Christmas program. We sang the songs that Miss Vicki has been teaching us, ate cookies and milk, and had a visit from Santa. There were so many people who came that we had to use an additional room to fit everyone in. Thanks to all of the students and their families for making this such a great success. We appreciate you allowing us the privilege of spending a small bit of time with your children every week and look forward to seeing them at the start of the New Year.

Time flown by. It is hard to believe the holiday season is in full swing and our Christmas program is just around the corner. We have been open for almost two months now and have had lots of fun while learning. We are amazed at how much the kids have learned already. Our Zoo Phonics program has been such a success, even our two your old class knows the letter sounds and some of our Pre-K kids are starting to sound out words. If you have a beginning reader at your house, give them a challenge of finding a book without the word 'the'. It is one of the words used the most in the English language.

Ms. Vicki has been coming to our school on Fridays and teaching the kids to sing. She is amazing and the kids absolutely love her. Ms. Laurie has also started coming in to work with the kids and provided some movement activities for us. We are so grateful to have them both at our school.

We are so happy to have new students enrolling everyweek. We still have openings to be sure to come in and see what we have here at TotSpot! Happy Holidays from all of us.

Wow, what a difference a couple of weeks make! We have been very busy at the preschool getting things ready for opening day. Our teachers have all worked very had to turn a few empty rooms into amazing classrooms. If you haven't already, you should stop by and have a look.

Wow, it is amazing to see how much has been done on our new school over the past two weeks. The walls are all in and are in the process of being painted! We love the blue walls and can't wait to decorate them. The flooring should go in next and we will be able to start moving things in!! We have hired all of our teachers and they can't wait to get busy.

Our Oceans unit was a blast!

2010-04-20T22:52:00.000-07:00

The past two weeks we have been learning a bit about the ocean. We sure had a lot of fun learning about how big a whale is and about some of the animals that live in the ocean. The kids loved singing 'Down By the Bay', learning about the letter O, and also a bit about money. Ask your kids about what works best to shine up your dirty pennies! We look forward to learning about snakes and reptiles this next week.

We would like to say a special thanks to Miss Gretchen for coming and helping out while Miss Shannon was out! We all love her and look forward to seeing her more in the future.
